My Alzheimer's story began with my Mom's diagnosis in November 2009.  For nearly ten years my mom, Carolyn, slowly disappeared and we struggled with saying goodbye to the wife, mother, grandmother, cousin, and friend we loved as the disease progressed.  Our "final" goodbye was on March 3, 2018 when she was called Home.  Two weeks later I joined the committee for the Fort Bend "Walk" and created a Team.  This is our fourth year together and we have reached Champion and/or Grand Champion each year.  

And although I will always walk for my mom, I named the Team "Memory Makers" because I have friends who lost someone or are currently were loving their own parents or family members through the stages and I wanted this to be a OUR team so we could walk together and support each other on our journeys.          

There will be more families with their own Alzheimer's or Dementia Story so I wanted to help lead the fight for Alzheimer's first SURVIVOR by volunteering and participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's.  Please join OUR team "Memory Makers" for the Fort Bend Walk To End Alzheimer's on Saturday October 30, 2021 at UH-Sugarland and/or make a donation to advance the care, support and research efforts of Alzheimer's Association.  

Thank you for joining me in the fight against Alzheimer's one step at a time!
